Bioprocessing Unfiltered

In the latest episode of Bioprocessing Unfiltered, Bill Whitford talks with Todd Przybycien about using precipitation as a continuous capture step for monoclonal antibody downstream processing, and why higher titers make the approach practical again. We dig into step change improvements in cost of goods, throughput, footprint, and sustainability, plus what it takes to control and automate a continuous process. Join us to hear: • Todd’s early downstream processing work and why “un...

Quality leaders are increasingly tasked with deciding where and how AI can add value without compromising quality. In this episode, Anthony Mire-Sluis, Ph.D., senior vice president of global quality at Gilead Sciences, and host Ran Zheng discuss navigating the intersection of quality, digital transformation, and AI in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. They explore how leaders can determine whether a process is ready for digitalization, avoid common implementation mistakes, and distinguish betw...

Everyone wants smarter bioprocessing, yet most teams are still fighting the same battle they fought years ago: inconsistent information, messy process data, and systems that were never designed to support analysis. At this year's Bioprocessing Summit Europe, industry experts gathered on a panel to address these gaps, explore why data challenges persist, and discuss why the hardest part is often data engineering and harmonization. Moderated by Maximilian Krippl, Ph.D., head of bioprocess model...

In this episode of Bioprocessing Unfiltered, Jack Scarcelli, senior director and head of cell line development at Sanofi, speaks with host Hussain Dahodwala, professor of upstream process development at University of Maryland’s Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology Research, to discuss technical and strategic challenges in the next gen cell line development in the biopharmaceutical industry. Scarcelli traces his career journey, shares lessons learned over a successful career, and offers t...

In this episode of Bioprocessing Unfiltered, Jack Prior, head of process monitoring and data science and AI strategy at Sanofi, explores how AI has evolved from early expert systems to machine learning, generative AI, and agentic AI, and what that means for biomanufacturing today. He explains why digital transformation has not automatically created usable data, and why the real challenge is turning fragmented information from manufacturing systems into accessible, authentic, and analysis-read...
